THE ONES I HAVEN’T ERASED FROM MEMORY, AT LEAST
“Working on old code is like
stepping back in time... to a time when I sucked.”
— @kevinmontrose
Not leaving myself breadcrumbs.
Useful notes and comments are a good start.
Theme Name: WordPress Default Theme URI: http://wordpress.org/

Not using child themes.
Boost my ugly code’s self-esteem.
Whitespace. It’s why you can read this sentence.
